Greyson, who was disdainful of Jacob, suddenly became a little dreaded.
Oscar was so respectful and reverent to his son-in-law, which proved that Jacob was a more important figure than him in Oscar’s opinion.
He asked his friends about Jacob’s son-in-law’s information, who happened to have attended the last reunion. He said with a smile, “Oh, him. I think he’s an unemployed househusband, but we’re not quite sure exactly what he does for a living.”
Greyson was a businessman, after all. He had seen much of life to know the differences.
Oscar’s attitude alone was enough to indicate that Jacob’s son-in-law was not someone he could underestimate. He must be somebody who did great things to earn such honorable recognition from Oscar.
This also made him feel worried and fearful of the consequences after ridiculing Jacob earlier. He could tell that, based on Oscar’s gracious manner towards Jacob, it would not end well for him if he went up against Jacob for real.
He glanced at Jacob, horrid and cautious, and said after much hesitation, “Hey, Jacob, I’m sorry for what I said earlier, I was just screaming blue murder. We’re all friends, I hope that you won’t take it to heart. Let’s talk it through, what do you think?”
Jacob knew that Greyson’s abrupt change of attitude was because he deciphered Oscar’s attitude towards him and concluded that he was not someone he could mess with.
He didn’t want to let Greyson go so easily, but Matilda suddenly spoke, “Jacob, we’re all friends. Let bygones be bygones.”
Jacob nodded reluctantly and said to Greyson, “Okay, I’ll let it slide for Matilda’s sake. I won’t attack unless I’m attacked, so if you stop getting on my nerves, I’ll stop picking on you.”
Greyson would have exploded in fury long ago if someone talked to him like this on usual days, but he dared not to right now.
He was on the Moore family’s territory and Jacob earned such great respect from Oscar. If he foolishly made a scene here, he would be digging his own grave, so he mumbled sheepishly, “Jacob, you’re the bigger man here. I’ll give you a toast later.”
Seeing the abrupt change in Greyson’s attitude, the other attendees knew that Jacob struck fear in Greyson’s mind. Some were even surprised to see the Moore family be so polite to Jacob’s son-in-law and wondered what he had done to earn such an honor.
Jacob was feeling exceptionally cocky and proud. He was somewhat astonished that his son-in-law was still able to boast his reputation even though he was not here.
He was certain that his friends would not dare to underestimate him after today.

Meanwhile, Paul was driving to his company, Smith Group Corporate Law.
Americans and Chineses had different sets of behavior styles.
Chineses rarely used their own names to name companies because as a whole, they believed in being obscure and secretive—a highlight of their modest and humble manner in general.
As for Americans, they were generally very straightforward and perceptible. Many well-known American companies were basically named after their founders.
